I went through FOUR other monitors and this is my fifth and sixth. Tried two Pixios and two Acers and they all had problems (dead pixels, scrambled video, losing signal). I sucked it up and put a little more money into this Asus and guess what? DEAD PIXEL. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING WITH $400-$550 MONITORS! Just got the second Asus and so far, so good. Aside from that, I was happy with it. Most of the presets gave me weird contrast ghosting and really brought out the compression artifacting in compressed images and I was getting irritated that I couldnt get rid of it. Found these settings on reddit and they really do seem to give me the best results: Game Visual: Cinema Mode (unlocks all settings, has best contrast) Blue Light Filter: 0 (after changing you might need to set "mode" back to Cinema) Color: - Brightness: 75 (your preference, 80 was looking a bit harsh after a while in my dim room.) - Contrast: 80 - Saturation: 46 - Skin Tone: Natural - Color temp: user. [R: 100] [G: 96] [B: 96] Image: - Sharpness: 50 - TraceFree: 80 - VividPixel: 0 - ASCR: off Menu navigation is the best Ive seen on any monitor thanks to the joystick-like interface. Screen is bright and vibrant, lighting is very even - I dont see any splotches or wierd light bleed.

Lets face it. A great CPU and a top of the line graphics card are useless without a good monitor. This is one Excellent Monitor!!! Larger visual area than my old 24". Pleasant surprise. Not too big for my desk, nor too small for my over the shoulder friends and kids watching. I recently purchased a stand alone CPU (HP Omen Cube) pushing the Radeon RX 480 Graphics card, which was new to me. It boosted about its "Freesync" capability, which I had never heard of. So began my research. Simply put... Freesync makes your monitor refresh at the same rate as your GPU is putting out frames. In other words it does a great job of eliminating visual tears and ghosting images. Super smooth display, even at the max settings. (3840 x 2160) Since they always match up, the game/ computer display looks a lot smoother. For those that dont fully understand, 3840 x 2160 is 4 times the pixels of your full HD 1080p displays. (Remember the difference 1080p made, compared to your old tube televisions?) WOW! So basically, you get more detailed images. Thus I shopped around, finding several monitors that took advantage of this new tech. I settled upon ASUS, due to their longer than usual warranty {36 months). Narrowing down my choices to 27" or 28" Monitors. The MG28U was constantly mentioned and highly praised as a stable and complete gaming type monitor. The 90 degree tilt feature was actually a surprise. Turned it by accident, watching my display react accordingly! Nice! The base is very stable and weighted, minimizing its shake on my desk surface. 4K is the only way! The display is seamless! Go ahead... try to find pixels. The MG28U is plug and play. Very simple to connect and offers the latest in connectability, including a 60Hz refresh rate and native 4K UHD support via DisplayPort 1.2. (Im using the DisplayPort to enable the freesync ability) Flawless!!! The unit also sports a 5-Way OSD Joystick as the main input controller, to select and activate the monitors menus. Nice touch because this makes the OSD menus and screen adjustments easy to work, even from the front. No need to go around the back anymore. Im very happy with this purchase. Prime delivery was perfect. Arrived as scheduled. Very well packaged. Assembly was easy. Quality construction. Rich display. Even my subscription streamed movies and shows look better than on my television display. Im actually thinking of buying 2 more and going for the big 3x side-by-side display, for the ultimate gaming setup. No negatives to speak of. Great product, Long warranty, Quality construction. Would and will buy again. Added 9/05/17- Still purring like a kitten with the roar of a Lion. The auto updates are coming in at a rate of 1 every 2 weeks. Accepting this as a positive sign, because its better to seed ASUS working behind the scenes with software fixes, then not. Learning more about the settings. Personal note: The auto dimming adjustment is as bothersum as it is on my cellphone. Better to keep a nice rich brightness level then watch it dim in a dark room. Still giving it 5 stars. Ill post pics when my game room is finished. Added 12/08/17 - Starting to become annoyed at an intermitant issue with my screen suddenly going blank. For whatever reason and unfortunately right in the middle of usage, my screen will just go blank. Happens at random intervals. BUt very annoying. It spans from days to a couple of times in the same day. Simple to fix with a reboot but should never happen in the first place. Never had this issue with any other monitor. Love the image quality still buty when youre working on something important and your screen just decides to go blank, itll tend to piss you of if you loss your projects work. Not getting worse but not getting better either. ASUS needs to fix this issue.

I love my new monitor. Going from 1920 x 1080 to this was a huge change for me. The color difference, and the size difference was night and day making me regret not getting two of the same. I scouted this particular monitor from PartPicker and thats how I stumbled across this, but my friends informed me I couldve gotten the same for cheaper elsewhere which upset me but its too late. I have this one. The only gripe I have with this now is the price point. $500 is nothing to turn your nose up at for one monitor especially when you are looking into having a multiple monitor setup. If youre looking for a good monitor, this would be *a* choice but probably not *the* choice. It *is* beautiful. Its slim, the buttons on the side are very nice, especially the setting that changes your colors for different "modes" eg scenery, cinema, racing etc. Its easy to navigate. Would I recommend this? Only if you have the money to spare/spoil yourself. BUT after doing more research for other options as well. Would *I* buy it again? Probably not.
